Projecting naval forces in littoral areas requires a thorough understanding of the environmental processes that take place in those areas, especially ocean wave evolution, and the associated surf and wave-driven currents. The transformation of wave spectra in coastal environments is predicted with numerical models that include the effects of refraction, nonlinear wave-wave interactions, and parameterizations of wave breaking and bottom friction. This thesis presents a comparison between a new...

The effects of ocean surface waves on optical signal fluctuations and optical refraction are evaluated. The effects on signal fluctuations were inferred from the ocean surface wave spectral density and temperature fluctuation spectral density. The effects of ocean waves on optical refraction are manifested in the near-surface gradient of the temperature profile. A modified temperature profile incorporating a statistical mixing length scale is proposed. The research points to the importance of...

Topic: Ocean waves
This research examines the effect of unsteady motion on the forces and moments experienced by an underwater vehicle in shallow water. The test platform is the REMUS Autonomous Underwater Vehicle developed by the Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, although the results are made non-dimensional to be applicable to a wide range of similar shaped vehicles. The experimental model was moved in sinusoidal motion at various submergences, speeds, frequencies of oscillation, and amplitudes of...

Topic: Ocean waves
Deep water directional wave spectra, measured by an NDBC 3-meter buoy off Montery bay, are transformed to shallow water using a linear refraction model. The transformed directional spectra are compared with measured spectra using pressure gauge arrays in shallow waters at Marina and Santa Cruz. The classical Longuet-Higgins et al. (1963) method of computing directional wave spectra and a new exact Founrier coefficients representation method (Grauzinis, 1989) are used to compute directional wave...

An intercomparison of Datawell accelerometer buoys, Datawell GPS buoys, and prototype GPS buoys was conducted to determine the viability of using off-the-shelf GPS receivers to measure ocean surface waves. In the experiment, conducted off the coast of California near Bodega Bay, clusters off Datawell and prototype GPS buoys were deployed to collect ocean surface wave measurements. The first phase of the research was an intercomparison of wave measurements from a Datawell accelerometer sensor,...

pulation. Two methods were examined for calculating breaking wave dissipation rates for particularly robust days (110.5 -114.5). Velocity data were acquired using two electromagnetic current meters over the vertical mounted on a tower at mid-surf zone. The first method identified individual bores, which were ensemble averaged by phase over 30 minute records to obtain wave number spectra invoking Taylor's frozen turbulence hypothesis. Maximum dissipation rates underneath the bore cycle were...

It is well known that the presence of mud deposits on the continental shelf can cause dramatic damping of ocean surface wave, but quantitative field observations are very scarce. Wave prediction models currently lack a physics-based representation of the mud-induced dissipation process, and hence the accuracy of wave predictions in muddy littoral environments is unknown. This thesis presents a comprehensive field data set for comparison with the operational wave model SWAN (Simulating Waves...

Swell propagates across thousands of kilometers of ocean in almost unchanged parallel wave fronts. Within the nearshore region however, refraction causes wave fronts to turn toward shallow depths transforming the wave field. The Nearshore Canyon Experiment (NCEX) Pilot, conducted from October 10 to October 17, 2002, observed wave transformation across the Scripps and La Jolla canyon system near San Diego, CA. Four Datawell Directional Waverider Buoys, three Nortek Vector PUV recorders, and two...
